Interviewer instructions
D. Employment: For people of age five and above
This part has five questions (question 16-20) which have to be answered by people of age 5 and above. For census purposes, a job is any economic activity, either if you get paid, make profit, do barter trade, or for domestic use. Housework is not regarded as a job except looking for firewood and fetching water from a source which is far from the respondent's living place. Housework includes laundry works, cleaning, cooking, etc. The housework mentioned above will be considered as economic activities if they are paid for. A house maid doing these works should be considered as employed.
Question 17: What kind of work were you doing for the past seven days?
Codes for question 16 and 17 are the same except the period of time is different. Question 16 is 12 months before the night to Census day while question 17 is seven days. It is possible that the work the respondent did in the past 12 months is the same he/she did for the past seven days. It is also possible that the work the respondent did for the past 12 months is not the same that he/she did for the past 7 days.
Question 18-20 will be asked depending on the answers given to question 17. As for the instructions on question 16, where the person interviewed is permanently employed but has been doing a different work apart from the usual for the past 7 days, the following questions will be asked about his/her permanent work. If the respondent did not do any economic activity for the past 7 days but is permanently employed, question 18-20 will be asked about the permanent job.
For example, a worker who is on leave during the time of enumeration and says he didn't do any economic activity or just rested will be considered as he/she worked the whole time. This means he/she will keep on working after the leave. In this case shade code "01" to "06" depending on the answers given.
If a worker is fired from the work last 7 days before Census day meaning he/she will not be going back to work, then should be categorized in the work he/she has being doing for that period.
[p. 43]
Farmers, fishermen, bee keepers, and pastoralists should be counted as if they worked for 7 days before census day. It should be remembered that August is summer, so most farmers will not be doing farming activities. In this case, the group is under code "01" to "06" depending on the answers given.
Note: Questions 18-20 are to be answered by people with code "01" to"06" in question 17.
